Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

@Leandro Ferreira you will get more clarity with this image

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

@Leandro Ferreira Sorry to bother you but if you can suggest how to resolve this its urgent for me

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

ahh ok, inject $livewire and try getSelectedTableRecords

->action(function (YourListPage $livewire) {
    $selected = $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords();
})

->action(function (YourListPage $livewire) {
    $selected = $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords();
})

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

I have tried this with livewire but its not working. as i have to work with loop as can get single record in my application i am able to download all the records PDF but not been able to download selected records PDF. if i want to download single record PDF that is also working having issue with selected records

Matthew•2w ago

Multiple PDF's ? Or one containing all the records ?

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

one containing all the records i want to created a product catalog. so when administrator select few records he can generate single PDF contains all selected records

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

hum, I think you can use bulk action in the table header actions to get the selected records:

Tables\Actions\BulkAction::make('generatePdf')
    ->action(function (Collection $records) {
        //...
    })

Tables\Actions\BulkAction::make('generatePdf')
    ->action(function (Collection $records) {
        //...
    })

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

below its the code from which i am generating all the records PDF $product = Products::orderBy('position','asc')->get(); $pdf = pdf::loadView('catalogpdf',array('product' => $product))->setPaper('letter'); return $pdf->download('catalog.pdf'); and i am using this action Tables\Actions\Action::make('Download Pdf') ->icon('heroicon-o-code-bracket-square')->url('/pdf') @Leandro Ferreira please help me if you can as i am stuck in this from last 10 days each functionlity is done just this thing is incomplete

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

Did you try bulk action as I said?

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

yes i have tried that let me show you that what is the issue in that code @Leandro Ferreira i need to access like below code which i have used to delete image of selected records function (Collection $records) { $records->each(function (Products $record) { if ($record->image) { Storage::disk('public')->delete($record->image); } }); }) and for all selected records in one PDF i need to use route to transfer that selected array we can get selected records array with the help as you suggested $selected = $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords(); but again its using livewire so problem is not getting sorted out

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

Would you like to generate a single PDF per record, right? Why not create a zip containing all the PDFs??

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

i want all the selected records in one single PDF not single pdf per record

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

You have the selected records, you can build a pdf with them

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

i am not been able to build that what i am saying.... if you have any solution to build a single PDF for selected records do send me @Leandro Ferreira check this image and red box which i have mark you will come to know that i mean to say

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

Ok, just to clarify, this is not a Filament issue. You can get the selected records as your first question

Lucky0•2w ago

you having trouble converting data to PDF?

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

this is the filament issue only how can i get selected records array to pass in route

Lucky0•2w ago

what output did you get when you do dd($outputSelected)? if you get the selected output then you can just convert them into one PDF

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

@Lucky0 $selected = $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords(); through this i can get selected records but i can use the records one by one. i cannot pass the array to route. and livewire is not allwowing to generate PDF as i am using domPDF package

Lucky0•2w ago

use this as reference: https://laraveldaily.com/post/laravel-dompdf-generate-simple-invoice-pdf-with-images-css all i can help is with the logic. hopefully.. what you want is to get list of that selected items. right? try to output it in a page see if its displaying all the items. then you use that page and convert it to pdf.. not sure if this will work.. havent tried it myself, but you never know, unless you try..

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

@Lucky0 i agree with you this working but this thing work for a single record not working for selected records i have already tried this but this does not help in my senario

Lucky0•2w ago

can you share you code here, please?

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

@Lucky0 This code i am using for generating all records PDF and its working fine /* Code in controller function start / $product = Products::orderBy('position','asc')->get(); $pdf = pdf::loadView('catalogpdf',array('product' => $product))->setPaper('letter'); return $pdf->download('catalog.pdf'); / Code in controller ends */ and i am using this action Tables\Actions\Action::make('Download Pdf') ->icon('heroicon-o-code-bracket-square')->url('/pdf')

Lucky0•2w ago

can i see your catalogpdf code?

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

i am getting selected records with the help of this in bulk action Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make()->before( function (Collection $records) { $records->each(function (Products $record) { // i can get single record through this }); }), ]) with this i am able to access single record i cannot pass an array to routes Acion in filament resource Tables\Actions\Action::make('Download Pdf') ->icon('heroicon-o-code-bracket-square')->url('/pdf') Routes Route::any('/pdf', [ProductsController::class, 'index'])->name('products.index'); // Function in contorller public function index() { $product = Products::orderBy('position','asc')->get(); $pdf = pdf::loadView('catalogpdf',array('product' => $product))->setPaper('letter'); return $pdf->download('catalog.pdf'); }

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

pass the record ids to your route $records->pluck('id')->implode(',')

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

how to pass that array to route its not possible

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

this is a string, not array

Vishal Thakkar•2w ago

okay let me try if that can work will get back to you with this

LeandroFerreira•2w ago

pass the ids as I said and get the ids in your class $ids = str(request()->ids)->explode(',');
